Terence W. Cavanaugh is a visiting assistant professor at University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL.
Literature circles have been heralded as an effective
learner-centered approach to engage students in analyzing,
discussing, and understanding literature. Now, through this book,
the educator has a helpful guide to strengthen these literature
circles with technology. The book begins by providing information
on the effect of the digital age on today's students. This
effectively establishes the need for enhancing lessons through
technology. Author Terence Cavanaugh then shares the background of
the literature circle before expanding on a variety of
technological options for implementing a successful literature
circle. The author explains eBooks, digital logs, blogs and wikis,
videoconferencing, and more, but does not stop there. As a helpful
resource tool, this book provides sample worksheets, instruction
ideas, and resources for many content areas. Each chapter ends with
an extensive list of resources and references. A helpful appendix
that covers sample rubrics and scoring guides, as well as a
detailed table of contents and an index add to the overall
usefulness of this book. Recommended.
